Sommario/riassunto

Dark Days in the Newsroom traces how journalists became radicalized during the Depression era, only to become targets of Senator Joseph McCarthy and like-minded anti-Communist crusaders during the 1950's. Edward Alwood, a former news correspondent describes this remarkable story of conflict, principle, and personal sacrifice with noticeable élan. He shows how McCarthy's minions pried inside



newsrooms thought to be sacrosanct under the First Amendment, and details how journalists mounted a heroic defense of freedom of the press while others secretly enlisted in the government's

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Logical Foundations of Computer Science, LFCS'97, held in Yaroslavl, Russia, in July 1997. The volume presents 42 revised refereed papers carefully selected by the program committee. All current issues of computer science logic are addressed. There is a certain emphasis on reporting the progress achieved by scientists from various parts of the former Soviet Union; but there are also many other strong papers from the international research community.
